Some 15 years ago Cartier-Bresson decided to lay down the Leica and return to his first love painting and drawing to which he brings the same magic that infused his famous photographs. The foreword by John Russell (chief art critic, The New York Times ) and introduction by Jean Clair (curator of drawings, the Pompidou Center in Paris) complement the 65 reproductions, nine in color and 56 in duotone.

"...his life as a photographer was a long apprenticeship in learning how to see." Very good.
